I know these guys were hip a while back, unfortunately I'm not hip. Every time I went into Diverse Records in Newport the cover for the first album captured my attention; The name, the black and white picture of attractive girls...however I managed to resist. I was a fool. When the second album was released back in March I caught wind of a few tracks. I fell in love. The soft, tracked up vocals over the warm fuzzy guitars grabbed me instantly. I heard echoes of The Cure and Smashing Pumpkins which is all down to the amazing production work of Flood. I instantly ordered both the lps from Fortuna Pop. They are on rotation an awful lot. By 11 month year old loves dancing to them!On a side note, I could imagine Adam Sandler singing some of these songs in The Wedding Singer. Not because they're synth-tastic, but because they remind me of this humorously tragic solo performance of 'Somebody Kill Me'.
Don't be a fool as I was...get involved.
